[PATCH v2] usb: gadget: f_uac1_legacy: cancel playback_work and drain buffers on free

From: Tristan Madani

Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 20:30:57 EST


From: Tristan Madani <tristan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

f_audio_free() calls kfree(audio) without cancelling playback_work or
freeing the queued audio buffers. If a playback work item is pending
or running when the function is freed, the work handler references
the already-freed audio structure via container_of. Additionally, any
f_audio_buf entries remaining on play_queue and the partially filled
copy_buf are not freed.

Cancel the pending work, drain all queued buffers from play_queue, and
free copy_buf before cleaning up the ALSA card and freeing the audio
structure.

Changes in v2:
- Drain queued f_audio_buf entries from play_queue and free copy_buf
before kfree, addressing sashiko-bot [Medium] buffer leak concern
